I have Cultus VXL2004 in excellent condition. Haven't visited mechanic in last two years for repairs except for general maintenance, but I have also faced the same braking issue. I sometimes feel that the brakes don't grip the wheel. I have driven almost 3 Cultus of similar models, and 3 Suzuki Margalla 95 to 97 models, and have noticed similar brake jamming issues in all of them. This happens very rarely, but it does happen.

Hi.

First time on this site & I am reading these reviews with interest. Its been a while since I have been in Pakistan, but I travel a lot & I can't believe that people posting these messages have no understanding of mechanics.

Suzuki is a cheap car with a small engine (low BHP & torque) so what do you expect?

I have spent a few minutes looking at the engine specs & they are still using 1970s (or early 80's) straight aspirated engines!

If you wants to switch to LPG (or CNG in Pakistan) then use multi-point injection systems, but it appears to me that most kits in Pakistan are single-point and some of these cars are 8 valve rather then 16 valve (significant reduction in compression ratios)

I can't beleive that people in Pakistan have so much money to dish out for old & outdated/engineering...I have visited other third world countries which are poorer then Pakistan, but even they don't expect the performance of a Ferrari from a 1.0 Ltr 8 vavle single-point straight aspired engine!

In the West Suzuki is a "CHEAP" below-average car & that's where it belongs. I will end the note with a saying in English, "You pay peanuts: You get Monkeys"

I am not trying to offend anyone just trying to set the expectations straight.

2003 Suzuki Cultus VXR 1.0 Carberator petrol

Summary:

A decent second car

Faults:

The window handle came off many times.

Lots of loose screws that had to be tightened.

General Comments:

Overall this car is nice. After you buy it, you should definitely change the tires immediately as the ones that come from factory are dangerous, thin, and give poor braking. I suggest wider tires which give you better handling and braking power. Otherwise nice good car for inner city driving.

Generally the car is OK, however poor quality control with forced deletion plan when local vendors are not able to provide items with correct specifications is probably pushing this car down against cars which are still low on their deletion plans. Specially the items of rubber and plastic are far cry from any thing 'satisfactory'. Interestingly these are not covered under warranty too.
